2011-12 KANSAS STATE BASKETBALL: A SEASON ON THE BRINK ..... OF DOMINATION!

OK, the ending of the title definitely needs some work, but I think you hoopheads out there will get my point, and I do apologize for the  .

sorry buddy, your alcoholic brain can't remember back 11 months, but it's true.  it said it several times and one time in particular i was driving back from chipotle (burrito, no rice, pinto, chicken, two scoops hot, cheese, sour cream, to go) at lunch and he told soreen petro that if we didn't belong in top 5 then no one did, etc.  just frank's regular load of complete bullshit. 

Nope, wrong. See below for proof:

Frank Martin says he never bought into Kansas State's preseason hype

"Who says it wasn't supposed to be this way for us? You?" Martin said while addressing media after Monday's loss at Missouri. "You never asked me. You said it, not me. If you would have asked me, I would have said we were going to go through some bumps on the road."

hmmm I think I was overloaded on sodium during that time could be the cause.

This is a pretty great post. Really on a roll lately, y-l_a.

I was about to make a thread about this, but I think it will fit into this thread. I was talking to some friends who were at a party with JHR and Jam Sam. They were talking to them about the upcoming season and JHR and Jamar said Diaz is looking really good. They said Diaz may start this season, so take that fwiw.

I was at a party with Jordan and Nino.  I asked them about a couple of things about this up coming season, but unfortunately all my drunk ass remembers is telling them to get to the final four and beat ku.

The way I remember it, Martin was pretty positive around this time, although nowhere near as gung-ho as he seems right now. It was only later that he he said he didn't buy into the hype. Preseason, he had the team embracing the hype, because it (the hype) showed the team had earned the Big 12 coaches' respect.

But Frank's statements are fairly gushing this time around. It makes me optimistic that we'll go dancing this year. Is he for real or is he just trying to sell tickets?

Just drawing attention away from their sub-par recruiting.

If this is a ploy to the excite the KSU cats fanbase, it's working on KITNfury.

Jones speed and Omari cover shooting off were the two biggest things I didn't expect to hear from Frank. We'll see if they are true.

thats funny coming from "sky"cat  do you even know the effects cannabis has on the memory?

1. excited about speed note.  Would love to get our too-fast-for-complete-control fast break back.
2. shooting is great sign since we lost our best shooter
3. Frank basically said that omari isn't athletic anymore, but hey he can shoot

Over all, really  .  Now if the rough ridin' ticket office wold just call me and get my seats moved permanently to Sec 17

They called me a few days back.  Nothing available in 18, nothing better than what I've got in 17.

[steve dave]

fwiw, this one just means that Omari is now a shitty athlete

@FrankMartinKSU on Omari Lawrence "When he was young, he was a great athlete. Now, he's shooting the cover off the ball."

I like sitting up high.  Last year I traded my not awesome seats to some elderly folks for the first non-seat cushion row and loved them.  Just hoping to get them.

Hey guys in case anyone was wondering I think Frank was putting a positive spin on Omaris lack of athleticism but highlighting his abilities as a shooter.

Jon Rothstein
@FrankMartinKSU on Rodney McGruder "When he + Will Sprading played well last year, we beat everyone. We need him to be fearless."

Love when Frank says things like this, can totally hear him saying it in the most matter of fact way.

Also, wasn't Frank this positive in 09-10 preseason comments?

Frank was just optimistic at this time last year because he just received a truckload of Vagisil that he thought might help Wally maintain his balance. Oh and he had this vague notion that CK's tweets about Manhattan changing his life might mean less smoking. Deluded hopes.

This year: 1) No major pre-existing problems with players. Aside from Omari's hair/tweets. 2) Much more JYC roster, less bitchy. 3) No preseason hype. Like Zero. I will pretty much always be able to get more excited about this type of preseason.

[AbeFroman]

The team has potential that's for sure. McGruds, Sprads, Southwell, and JHR get me all   and Gipson and Angel could be  

[kso_FAN]

Looking forward to "bought in" Jamar.
